East Coast Canada

Hi, Would anyone be able to advise on what are the best internet sites for weather/ice forecasts for a crossing from Greenland to East Coast Canada - Labrador/New Foundland?

Re: East Coast Canada

There are many weather sites covering Canada.
Browse this link https://weather.gc.ca/canada_e.html


Ask if you need more info.




NOAA (USA) provides forecasts,sattelite,etc. that is useful for predicting what is coming to eastern Canada https://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/home.htm


Some other useful sites https://www.windfinder.com/#3/49.5042/9.5421


https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/no...tellite?play=1


Can.Coast Guard continuous marine broadcasts. Frequencies/Channel vary by area-call them on VHF16,HF SSB 2180,etc.

Re: East Coast Canada

Thanks, my husband is in Greenland waiting for weather to cross over but the internet cable to South Greenland has bust so he is asking me. I had been looking at Windy and Passage Weather but he said he heard there were 63 icebergs on the East Coast and wondered if I could find a local forecast for them, I can't find a mention of them anywhere.



I am also mindful that Windy woefully underestimated the wind and wave height when we crossed from Faroe to Iceland in the beginning of July, biggest seas I have ever been in to say the least.



I'll go look up all these other suggestions


Cheers



Linda
